🎙 President Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the Artificial Intelligence Journey (AI Journey) 2023 international conference on AI and machine learning titled The Generative AI Revolution: New Opportunities.
💬 In the past few years Russia’s economic and social sectors have increased the use of AI solutions by 50 percent.
The Russian Direct Investment Fund is actively involving co-investors, putting its own money into domestic software companies, and helping them develop global cooperation and enter foreign markets, and today especially in Asia and the Middle East.
<...>
☝️ We will continue to strive for Russia to become one of the world’s most conducive jurisdictions for the development of artificial intelligence and bold exploration of the technological solutions that everyone needs.
Alongside legislative measures, voluntary consent of market participants regarding key rules of creating breakthrough technologies is of immense importance.
👉 I would like to highlight the special role of the National Code of Ethics in the sphere of artificial intelligence. It has been signed by domestic companies and organisations, as well as by participants from 16 countries worldwide. I believe complementing this document with a declaration on the responsible development of large language and generative models would be the right thing to do.
Russia’s experience can be instrumental in shaping international ethical standards in the field of artificial intelligence. We should strive for balanced and justified legal regulation that serves the interests of all, rather than select countries. I propose thoroughly discussing these issues during Russia's chairmanship in BRICS next year.
I suggest considering granting our partners from friendly countries access to Russian large language and generative models.
🌐 I am absolutely convinced that the technological world of the future must be multipolar, and we must build it together on the basis of trust and mutually beneficial cooperation.

#Ukraine
The Euromaidan, alongside other factors, resulted in the division of society, a surge in nationalism, social upheavals, and the substitution of a state based on solid foundations for legal nihilism, causing profound disruption in Ukraine. These developments led to the persecution of the Russian language and history, deterioration of the socioeconomic situation, the emergence of a repressive dictatorship, and civil war.
#Sanctions
Anti-Russia sanctions have created even greater risks for global food security. However, in response to our calls, the EU continues to tighten the sanctions. The ban on transit of EU agricultural output for third countries through Russia directly affects the agro-industrial sector of other states.

✍️ President Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to the participants and guests of the Primakov Readings International Forum.
✉️ This international expert forum, named after an outstanding statesman and diplomat, Academician Yevgeny Primakov, has rightfully received wide recognition. During constructive and openminded discussions, its participants not only thoroughly analyse today’s key international issues, but also consider long-term trends in developments at the regional and global levels, based on a system-wide, scientific approach and objective facts.
The theme of this year’s forum – Postglobalisation Horizons – is very relevant. It is clear that the model of globalisation, which was formed largely by Western states, naturally, in their own interests, has outlived its usefulness and is now in deep crisis.
❗️ A new, fairer and more democratic system of international relations is emerging, meeting the needs of the world majority.
However, a certain group of countries, used to dominating the world, will go to any length to maintain their waning influence, practicing outright blackmail and forceful pressure, replacing the system of international law with a kind of “rules-based order.” This destabilising line has provoked both the crisis around Ukraine and the tragic escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In general, considering the current extremely difficult, turbulent international situation, the participants in the Primakov Readings have something to think about, to discuss and to argue about.

🔸 On solving the humanitarian crisis & the need for a ceasefire
🔸 The evacuation of Russian nationals from the Gaza Strip
🔸 The fight against terrorism
🔸 The Kiev regime's crimes
🔸 Western disinformation
💬 The Biden administration was the one that created the Zelensky regime. Moreover, it fed it with money, weapons and, what was most awful, the sense of impunity.

📅 #OTD in 1943, the Allies leaders representing the USSR, the United States, and the United Kingdom opened their first World War II-era conference.
🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇬🇧 From November 28 to December 1, 1943, the Big Three — Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars Joseph Stalin, President of the United States Franklin Roosevelt, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Winston Churchill — gathered in Tehran to discuss key strategic matters for the Allies with a special focus on opening the Second Front in Europe.
The meeting took place against the backdrop of the Red Army’s strategic advances in the summer and autumn of 1943, which helped convince the Western leaders of the inevitable defeat of the Third Reich and the need to outline a post-war framework for Europe.
In Tehran, the leaders reached a preliminary agreement on the Polish border, tracing it along the so-called Curzon Line of 1920 in the east and along the River Oder in the west, which meant that territories of western Ukraine and Belarus were rightfully recognized as parts of the USSR.
🤝 To sum up the conference proceedings, the Leaders issued the Declaration of the Three Powers, stating that they had concerted their plans for the destruction of the German forces and reached complete agreement as to the scope and timing of the operations to be undertaken from the east, west and south. In the declaration, they also expressed their determination to work together in war and in the peace that [would] follow.
📄 From the document: “We came here with hope and determination. We leave here, friends in fact, in spirit and in purpose.”
On November 29, at the Soviet Embassy in Tehran, Churchill presented Stalin, with the Sword of Stalingrad, a ceremonial longsword forged by command of King of Great Britain George VI as a token of homage to the courage and heroism the Soviet people in general and the defenders of Stalingrad in particular.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin addressed, via videoconference, the plenary session of the World Russian People’s Council. The key topic of the forum, dedicated to the 30th Anniversary of the organisation’s establishment, is the Present and Future of the Russian World.
💬 Our fight for sovereignty and justice is, without exaggeration, one of national liberation, because we are upholding the security and well-being of our people, and our supreme historical right to be Russia – a strong independent power, a civilisation state.
It is our country, it is the Russian world that has blocked the way of those who aspired to world domination and exceptionalism, as it has happened many times in history.
We are now fighting not just for Russia's freedom but for the freedom of the whole world. We can frankly say that the dictatorship of one hegemon is becoming decrepit. We see it, and everyone sees it now. <...> This is now clear to the global majority.
☝️ I would like to stress this: without a sovereign and strong Russia, no lasting and stable international system is possible.
We know the threat we are opposing. Russophobia and other forms of racism and neo-Nazism have almost become the official ideology of Western ruling elites. They are directed not only against ethnic Russians, but against all groups living in Russia
The West has no need for such a large and multi-ethnic country as Russia as a matter of principle. Our diversity and unity of cultures, traditions, languages, and ethnicities simply do not fit into the logic of Western racists and colonisers, into their cruel plans for total depersonalisation, separation, suppression, and exploitation.
👉 They want to dismember and plunder Russia. If they cannot do it by force, they sow discord.
❗️We view any outside interference or provocations to incite ethnic or religious conflict as acts of aggression against our country, and an attempt to once again wield terrorism and extremism as a weapon against us, and we will respond accordingly.
